Please Read Before Installing
DENALI products should always be installed by a qualified motorcycle
technician. If you are unsure of your ability to properly install a product,
please have the product installed by your local motorcycle dealer. DENALI
takes no responsibility for damages caused by improper installation. Caution:
When installing electronics it is extremely important to pay close attention
to how wires are routed, especially when mounting products to the front
fender, front fork, or fairing of your motorcycle. Always be sure to turn the
handlebars fully left, fully right, and fully compress the suspension to
ensure the wires will not bind and have enough slack for your motorcycle to
operate properly.
Installation Tips
We strongly recommend using medium strength liquid thread locker on all screws
and bolts. It is also important to ensure that all hardware is tightened to
the proper torque specifications as listed in your owner’s manual. For
included accessory hardware please refer to the default torque specifications
provided below. Inspect all hardware after the first 30 miles to ensure that
proper torque specifications are maintained.

Hardware Sizing Guide
Not sure what size bolt you have? Use this ruler to measure screws, bolts,
spacers, etc.
Remember, the length of a screw or bolt is measured from the start of the
“mounting surface” to the end of the screw, so only include the screw head
when measuring countersunk screws.
